Assuming the following structure:

 - Foo
   - a.jpg
   - b.jpg
 - Bar
   - Baz
     - c.jpg
   - d.jpg

Three albums should be created:

Foo, containing a.jpg and b.jpg
Bar, containing d.jpg (and maybe c.jpg?)
Bar / Baz, containing c.jpg

The separator (e.g. the / in Bar / Baz) should be customisable.

Additionally, a marker file (e.g. .albumprops) in the album root should be able to override some properties:

Title
Cover photo

This however would require local access to the storage (rather than just API access to Immich), and potential file-system mapping.

It could be interesting having an option to include photos from sub-directories in top-level albums as well, e.g.:

Top-level album only. In the example above, there would be only two albums created, Foo and Bar, with Bar containing c.jpg and d.jpg
Match folder structure. That's the example above.
Match folder structure plus recursive. That's the example above, but both Bar and Baz would contain c.jpg.
